If an agreement can be made, it is likely that O2 and Vodafone, the most vocal in their disapproval, will allow EE to go ahead with its prospective 4G public launch at the end of October.

The UK government's new Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport, Maria Miller, will chair the meeting and will be hoping all parties will be satisfied enough to prevent appeals and, therefore, delays.

It is also being reported by the BBC, which spoke to a source from within a network operator, that another demand is that EE must not hinder the operation of Mitco. The organisation's remit is to examine and deal with possible interference the new 4G services may have on digital television services and other radio frequencies.
